Anyone experience ventures getting looser as you skate them? I’ve been skating my current set (5.8 standard) for maybe 3 months all stock, started them like 2-3 turns. I tightened them up a few weeks ago and they seem way looser again. No big deal just wondering if anyone else has had the same experience. I go through trucks fast too, already on the axel on the back truck, lot of slappies.

I've had this experience on my ventures. I've skated 3 sets of 5.25 highs and one set of 5.25 lows. All of them I've had to periodically tighten a full turn or two from factory at some point after they've really broken in until the kingpin is almost one exposed thread showing. I can usually tell because my tre flips get soggy and rocketed when the truck starts loosening up or the bushings get mushier.

Started my 5.2 highs as they were and sadly got to tighten them up a bit now (some weeks in), since I start to get a lot of wheelbite – even though the F4 tablets I'm running have gone down from 54mm to about 52 (51?) due to crusty ground. Kind of like how loose they are now, but hate the slams.

when i had the bones bushings in my titaniums i left the bottom stock washer.  just for further reference though, i ended up going back to the stock bushings and only using the bones top washer.  felt a little better to me overall

I skate a good bit of transition and am not good at manuals and my ledge game is mediocre -- will I hate ventures?  I'm so close to pulling the trigger on some, but I keep feeling like I won't like them.  I currently skate ACE 55s super loose.  I love them, but after only skating Indies for 15 years and then one set of ACEs, I'm curious to try something new.  I just really don't want to waste money.  I would get the 6.1s.

Haven’t had 55s, nor 6.1s. Currently really want 6.1s.
I went out on 2 different setups, in one day, you know, like a crazy person. One w/ 44s, one w/ 5.2 hi’s. I’ve got the ventures really loose. They turn really well imo. I think you’d probably need some time to break them in, and then they’ll feel great. If you rode Indy for 15 years you skated stage 10s, and sometimes people equate venture hi’s to stage 10s. Ish.

Also extremely relevant that I skipped past: transition. I don’t skate it. So keep that in mind with what I rambled above

Thank you.  I skate transition, but I mainly skate street transitions that I find these days.  Ditches, fountains, and random DIYs were the transition is kind of sporadic and you push in between.  I'm not carving as much as if I were skating a bowl.

Well street tranny vs park/bowl tranny, you should do fine with Ventures then; my statement comes from having used ventures and ACE (And thunder, ML, Indy, Theeve, Tensor...) all the in the same parks (big boy bowls and 1/4 or minis), for the big boy stuff, ACE or Indy all the way - everything else, any truck will do out of the mainstream brands; there are people that shred on everything but you're talking about moving from one camp to the other and it usually doesn't go well, but you might like the stability of Ventures?  Thunders might be a better move?

Bones fit fine with no bottom washer, ran both soft and hard (and combos of each) but ultimately felt the ride was better on barrel bushings (better stability on center).

over 52mm wheels and low trucks deserves some sort of award

would you consider thunder 147’s low? I ran 53’s on them for a solid 6 months lol
This has me cracking up, what exactly does Black Flag have to do with measuring your dick starting behind ya nuts?

Skateboarding is nothing but a game to find the right fits to appear like you're a proportional human being instead of a midget or a giant.

Once did Thunder 149 standards with 56mm classics and didn't notice wheelbite affecting me that much. Though it was years ago and I'm much more concerned about gear now.

im on thunder forged with 53 conical fulls and i cant wait for these to wear down to 51. getting broke tf off by wheelbite is the most annoying shit. its like getting kicked in the nuts, embarrassing then painful

i wish i could for street but thats borderline masochism for me. congrats on pal status!

I’m running 5.8 on a scumco 8.75 (measures 8-7/8”) and it doesn’t feel super weird.  Coming from 8-3/8” it takes a bit to get used to but it’s not bad.  Got this board on sale and it’s probably one of the last Pennswood Scumco’s so I wanted it.  I have my own qualms with this deck but it’s a more a wheelbase thing and not a “deck vs truck width” thing.  I think once you get to 8-1/2” trucks they are more stable so you don’t get AS much of a magic carpet feeling compare to say 8” trucks on an 8.25” or larger deck.

IDK. If you like the ace truck wide open and on a large WB it's going to feel like starting all over again for a while.

They rule on the mini ramp though.

This is the second reason why I switched

Also I needed my skate to become difficult again to progress in my mind.

I can't let it fall away to boredom or I'm a dead man
